### 3.4.1. A RDATA format

        +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
        |                    ADDRESS                    |
        +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

where:

    ADDRESS         A 32 bit Internet address.

Hosts that have multiple Internet addresses will have multiple A records.

A records cause no additional section processing. The RDATA section of an A line in a master file is an Internet address expressed as four decimal numbers separated by dots without any imbedded spaces (e.g., "10.2.0.52" or "192.0.5.6").
